@YoMomma It's a Anti-Putin Russian social app. Alot of Ukrainians use it- it encrypts everything but requires you to use a phone number. I was using it at the beginning of the Ukraine War to track Russian and Ukrainian troop movements.
Pretty much everyone in the russian sphere of eastern europe, who is paranoid about their security and not being tracked by any government, uses it. Same types who use twitter and instagram here uses that there. I expect social media in the future (over the next few hundred years as a trend) will head in the direction of telegram instead of meta or twitter. You only have to look at the despotism in Brazil and Europe to see why- only way we will be able to have a dunctioning democracy is to break the centralizing control of the state over social correspondence. Any political position a political party doesn't like is bad in todays world, and the US gocernment under Biden did alot to control Twitter prior to Musk taking it over. We can't always expect a Elon Musk to be around to break that up.
